10. Roll Cage

When you are out there frantically maneuvering around while trying to get away from the psychotic Krampus and his minions, you will need every bit of help you can get. Adding a roll cage to your Wrangler will not only add more chassis rigidity but will improve the safety of you and your occupants in the chance of a rollover. Adding a 5 or 6 point harness in will help to improve your survival chances but will take a bit longer to snap together when hopping into your Jeep.

9. Lift Kit

The high ground was good enough for Obi-Wan Kenobi and it makes sense for you also. The elevated view will not only suit you in surveying the landscape for any gremlins but can give you the needed elevation from grubby little hands trying to pull you out your Jeep. Adding a lift kit can raise the height of your Jeep can 1 inch to several to aid you in evading your holiday pursuers over many types of terrain. To get everything you need to know on lifting up your Wrangler just step on over to this page and we'll give you the rundown.

8. Gun Rack

This mod can come in handy if things get really bad with Krampus and whatever means he's employing to bring you down to a bad place. When dealing with an otherworldly terror it would be best to supply yourself with whatever firepower you can get your hands on and stock up in your Jeep to keep them at arms reach.

7. Winch

Being stuck on a normal day can really suck, but being stuck when trying to make a getaway can be even worse. Grabbing a high-quality winch can get you unstuck very fast and back on your way to getting out of town. For maximum effectiveness, the steel cable will be tough enough to take all sorts of abuse and use. Here is the how-to so that you can install a universal winch yourself to your Wrangler.

6. Night Vision

Night vision can be a huge help to pick things out in front of you that aren't as easily as visible to the naked eye in the diminished light. The installation of a night vision camera into your grille can help a lot with staying one step ahead of things that are creeping in the dark of night to do your Jeep wrong. If you are digging the halo effect in the picture above then follow this step-by-step we have to add this look to your Wrangler.

5. Hard Top

If you're used to riding around feeling the breeze go across you with your open top Jeep, then I'm sorry that you'll have to do without it. Unfortunately, this is a survival situation and you need as much protection as possible. Don't even try to reason that the Canvas top will be enough, as you will just be fooling yourself. This could be the last Christmas you have if you do not take these type of things seriously. Check this out to see how to build your own hardtop hoist system to keep things out of the way when you don't need it.

4. Light Bar

Whether you're in a location that suddenly loses power or just caught out in the darkness with the feeling that you are not alone, a light bar is just what you need. Driving around without sufficient lighting is not a good idea, as you won't see anything dangerous lurking in the shadows. Shed some light on things and add this mod to flush your holiday hooligans out and into the open. Here is a nifty write-up on how to install a light bar all by yourself in the comfort of your own home.

3. Grille Guard

There really is no way of knowing who or what may come after once under the control of your Christmas oppressor. The best way to know that you can bash your way through barriers or protect your engine is to get yourself a front grille guard. If you've ever seen the famous episode of The Twilight Zone, then you know that gremlins can do a lot of damage to an engine when left unchecked. So keep things guarded and have one less thing to worry about. If you aren't sure what types of grille guards are out there but are interested, then a quick run through this should help you out tons.

2. Tall Snorkels

You never know what you'll have to go through in order to evade the ghouls you're after this holiday. If land turns to water then you need to be ready and add a snorkel to your trusty Jeep so that you traverse some streams like nobody's business. If things get deeper and streams turn to a river, the snorkel will keep your engine from flooding and leaving you stuck.

1. Proper Tires

Were you expecting some other item like a rocket launcher or cattle prods to add to your Jeep to be number 1? Tires are the most important component, as these will keep you going over all sorts of terrain and such. If you know you may run across some dicey obstacles that could cause a potential blowout then purchase run flats. If you will be out and about when the fluffy ice stuff has been falling from the sky then purchase some snow tires and chairs.
